I prefer Hunter Henry i think we can get him for a better price
Believing in Hudson as a TE 1 is the line of thinking would have kept Auden Tate as a starter in 2020 rather than drafting Tee Higgins.
Before Geno Smith was his QB and he was stuck behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and this year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Fant had back-to-back 670 yard seasons... that said, Fant isn't even my preferred TE target this FA. I want Dalton Schultz as he's both a solid blocker and a good receiver. I would also like Hunter Henry on a 1-year deal if we're not going to spend a draft pick on a TE since apparently this draft isn't great for it to push drafting one to 2025.
